Xiaomi delivered more than 50,000 electric vehicles in October 2026. This marked its highest monthly total of the year and crossed the threshold for only the second time in its history as production scales to meet annual shipment goals.
The Chinese smartphone maker announced the milestone, matching or exceeding a volume first reached in December 2025 when the company handed over 50,212 cars. Industry data providers tracked the October rebound following months of fluctuating output that included 31,267 deliveries in July and 40,015 units in September.

Rapid uptake helped offset demand during August and September, setting the stage for October’s volume surge.
Calculating Xiaomi Annual Delivery Targets
Cumulative deliveries for the first ten months of 2026 reached about 336,000 vehicles, with specific tallies placing the floor at 336,490 units. That figure represents roughly 61.2% of the company’s stated 550,000-vehicle target for the year. Despite the October high, the company faces a demanding path to reach its full-year objectives.
Meeting that target requires manufacturing and handing over up to 213,510 additional vehicles across November and December. That math translates to an average of roughly 106,755 deliveries per month—more than double the volume achieved in October.

Rival XPeng also cleared the 50,000-unit benchmark with 50,237 new vehicles delivered, marking a 22% increase from September and a 20% gain year-on-year. October delivery reports revealed diverging trajectories among major Chinese electric vehicle startups.

Other brands experienced different pressures. Li Auto recorded 29,025 deliveries in October as it managed a product transition phase. Meanwhile, its new-generation Li Auto MEGA delivered more than 3,000 units, securing the top spot in the MPV segment priced above 500,000 yuan—approximately $75,000—for two consecutive months.
